About

Our current economic and social realities require a dynamic education. Italian Studies provides students with the analytic and creative thinking skills to engage a multimedia world of fraught complexities and exciting opportunities. Students develop advanced fluency in Italian and are exposed to all aspects of Italian culture—literature, visual art, film, music, etc. They gain perspective by studying one of the world’s most influential cultures, which is at the crossroads of the world’s eastern and western hemispheres.

Minor: Italian (15 credits)

The minor is open to all students and requires 5 Italian courses of three credits or more at the ITA 1122-level and above. 

Program Notes:

  • Students may transfer 1 course (3 cr) taken abroad toward the minor (2 with the approval of the director).
  • Students have the option of taking one course taught in English - a maximum of 1 class with the subject ITA and attribute TENG.
  • Courses that fulfill minor requirements may be used to fulfill other requirements (i.e., primary major, core curriculum, minors, concentrations, or free electives).
